Here is my DinoDirect 5 mode XM-L P60 drop in ...
And today we will be putting in this driver ........ http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S020064
Ok first thing to do is remove the + Contact spring , I hold the spring with pliers , and unsolder one side at a time [ It may only come of a little , thats ok , move to the other side and repeat the process until the spring comes off ]
Then using the soldering iron try to push the solder away from the join [ see above picture (3) ] , if done well ? [ pic 4 ]
The driver will come out real easy [ one hopes its not also press fitted ]
Then unsolder the + and - leads from the emitter ...
Now your ready for the new driver ...
Most of the time , the new driver needs to be fitted [ File edges , to lower DIA , clean up joins etc ]
Once the driver fits easy [ can be removed ]
Solder on the wires ... Once this is done ...
Solder the wires to the emitter , I use a 2xAA battery holder [ 3v ] to test the circuit , 3v cos it wont fry the driver ..
If everything tests ok , solder the driver to the pill , and test again ...
If everything is ok , assemble the pill [ reflector etc ] and test again ..
Put it in the light and use a MM to check current , this is supposedly , a , 2280mAh driver , so check to make sure your not pulling much more than that ..
If you see 5 or 6A , you probably have a mild short , 10A and you will most likely fry something [ not that 5A cant fry something ] , but 10A could be real bad for the battery ...
So thats the basics of it , if I missed something , let me know ...
Important Update :
Seems the driver actually behaves a little different [ its dark out so went and played a little ]
What ever mode you stop at : When you go to change mode it starts on Low ...
So if you stop on low , and go to change modes , its starts or goes to low , and then you continue to change modes till you get what you want ...
What ever you stop on [ even low ] when you go to change modes , it goes to low ...
So it looks like it will always start from low [ stock ]
